Best way to carry your stuff, is the SCOTTeVEST, but then again I am slightly biased.

We don't expect to lower prices of Version 3.0 anytime soon. Also, there are no plans for Version 4.0 until 2005. If you purchase one, you can return it if you don't like it.
Scott Jordan, SCOTTeVEST
We take great pride in the quality of our products and fully guaranty them. If you had a problem, all you have to do is call/email us, and we will replace or repair your jacket, at no charge. We have NEVER had any issues brought to our attention about the magnets, ever.
Please call us on Monday to arrange for a repair/replacement.
Scott Jordan, Pressident SCOTTeVEST
It is much easier to travel with the SCOTTeVEST. All you have to do is put it through the xray with gadgets in it. No longer do you have to put your devices in the little buckets. I don't believe the addition of a solar panel will change that.
Scott Jordan, President SCOTTeVEST
Actually, the SCOTTeVEST makes going through security much easier. All you have to do is place the jacket with gadgets, etc. loaded, through the xray. No longer do you have to unload all your devices.
This has been tested by thousands of users. I don't believe the addition of the solar panels will change that.
Scott Jordan, President SCOTTeVEST
We both have responsibiliites. You have a responsibility not to report every single company mentioned in an email newsletter you subscribed to, including those that are clearly not responsible for sending the message. Can't you even now admit that???????? You are indignant even to this day.
My webhoster sent an email to webmaster@scottevest.com, which was never set up, and thus I never received the email they sent. But all that is besides the point. If you go off sending notices re spam when something clearly isn't spam, then be prepared to accept some responsibility!
Yours Truly,

This guy is a piece of work! We were mentioned in a Microsoft newsletter that required subscription/opt-in. I think it was called pocket news. Our company was mentioned in one of the many stories buried in the newsletter. It was suggesting that people check out our products for gift ideas. We had no knowledge whatsoever that it would be mentioned and never paid for the inclusion. Any idiot looking at the newsletter could clearly tell that it did not originate with our company, but this idiot elected to report our website as the offending company, and they shut our site down. Simply stated I think it is this idiot's partial responsibility to read the newsletter and make an educated judgement before reporting our company or others as spam. This guy after all subscribed to the MS newsletter.
People like this really piss me off!

You are completely wrong on almost all your "facts" and assertions. Just to name a few:
We have no VC funding.
The product is priced right. Try to find any similar products with less features for anything less.
Fisherman vests cost about $100 and look ugly.
Of course I would like to hit a home run. Who wouldn't? I suppose when you step up to bat you are satisfied striking out???
Good luck to you in all your endeavors. Perhaps the media knows something that you don't.

It is a separate layer, with Dupont Coolmax mesh interior lining. The seams are not taped. There are just too many of them. To do so, it would cost about twice as much as it does now. I use it to ski in Sun Valley where we live, and I haven't had any problems with water coming in.
I have been waiting for three years to get a post on slashdot, and even have a dedicated server, so I am really upset about site being down.
Thanks for understanding.

We have been asked that question often. We addressed this question in our last newsletter, see http://www.scottevest.com/htmlemail/nov2002/nov_20 02.html.
There's been concern expressed by some that the magnets located in the wind flap of the SCOTTeVEST Version 2.5 could cause damage to memory storage devices. For this month's inVESTigative report, we went behind the scenes to find out the exact answer to the burning question: "What's up with the magnets, dude?" Like any good inVESTigator, we went to a higher source. According to SanDisk, the "world's leading supplier of flash data storage products in consumer, OEM and industrial markets," magnets will not harm storage mediums. As a matter of fact, major companies are even using magnets for PDA cases. But still we weren't satisfied, so we hit the SeV laboratory for some testing. For 24 straight hours, we left a floppy disk with a short MP3 file, a PDF and a JPG file sandwiched between two magnets (mmm...magnet sandwich...mmm). One day later, all the files were fine. Additionally, we placed a compact flash card with JPG files into our magnet sandwich, and sure enough, all was well 24 hours later. So in conclusion, as much as people are attracted to the SCOTTeVEST, it doesn't quite possess the kind of animal magnetism that can leave your equipment damaged, so to speak.

PS: Move to Sun Valley, Idaho was never to "save on expenses". You are fast and loose on all facts. Where do you get this information???
